The record company wanted it on Binaural as well. Binaural does what, maybe double the sales if it's on there?

The thought of Last Kiss staining Binaural makes Bammer angry.

Yep, it started well enough but she ended up butchering it, missing the simplicity. Pearl Jam and specifically Vedder is tough to get near so fair play to her. I went back and listened to the original and ACL during my daily run. Jeff and Boom, two thumbs fresh. It’s a lovely song.
